Subaru 4pot Special! $650/kit Shipped!

Folger Subaru · 07-13-2004, 11:24 AM

A statement regarding our prices vs some of the other kits out there. We feel the carbotech pad to be far superior to anything else on the market, certainly worlds over a stock pad. For this reason we will not offer our kit with a cheaper pad. If you would like to use other pads with our kit, I have added a "kit 0" that does not include pads, and adjusted our pricing on the other kits as I would like to see people happy with their purchase.

Thanks! - Steven Rankins - Folger Automotive

EDIT: Our special on 4pots is over. We do still sell this kit, but please email for pricing: parts@folgerautomotive.com

edit: We also have 5mm spacers available for using stock wheels. $20 for a set of 4 with the purchase of brake parts.

Steven,
what can just the rotors be had for??

After 90K miles, I'm thinking a new set might be in order.

BTW, Steven, what other maintenance things do I need to address at 90K? I'm thinking plugs and wires at the very least. Should probably look into new brake fluid too..

DrBiggly · 07-13-2004, 02:38 PM

You don't have wires, you have coil packs. Don't know about replacement schedule on those but it's not quite like a plugwire.

I would suggest looking around your cam covers for oil seepage; there is a small breather on the top of the cam cover that the gasket can go on, as well as the main cam cover gasket itself. If you don't have oil seepage it's not a problem. If so, the gaskets aren't much and aren't too terribly hard to change. Also, whatever is in your manual; probably the diff fluids and tranny fluid. I cannot remember if there is more though.

Thanks Eric.

The $650 kit is meant to work with stock wrx rotors, or you can go with the $800 kit for non-wrx or if you're wanting to upgrade your wrx rotors.

CyC · 07-15-2004, 01:13 PM

I know I should just search, but will these fit under stock 16" 02 wrx rims without spacers?

You will need spacers to use the stock wheels. We have 5mm spacers available as well. $20 for a set of 4 if purchasing other brake parts.

mlambert · 07-15-2004, 11:45 PM

wow this is a great deal. I have to go out of town for a week of training but when I come back I'm going to think about this very seriously.

What kind of spacers are they, and are they Hubcentric?

Folger Subaru · 07-16-2004, 01:02 PM

They are made by Excaliber. They are not hubcentric.

Folger Subaru · 07-20-2004, 07:24 AM

We will have another kit ready to ship today!

NewShockerGuy · 07-20-2004, 02:34 PM

Are these actually powder coated black or are they the grayish metal color?

Got pics?

Thanks,
-Nigel

Fubawu · 07-20-2004, 04:29 PM

How much of an upgrade would these be? I have not heard much about this
model. Would they work better with a larger rotor?
Thanks
John

Folger Subaru · 07-20-2004, 04:34 PM

They are a gun-metalish grey with "Subaru" in white letters. I've only driven 1 car with this setup, but I felt it was a great improvement given the price.

Steven

Folger Subaru · 07-21-2004, 04:16 PM

Still a few minutes to order today before UPS arrives!

casualsurfer · 07-24-2004, 01:07 AM

What about rears 2-pots?
